Title: Native Speech Key for Preschoolers, Study Finds
Body: From http://www.newsobserver.com/146/story/556213.html Native speech key for preschoolers, study finds From Staff Reports March 22, 2007 A new study finds that Spanish-speaking preschoolers are better adjusted in class when their teachers speak at least some Spanish, compared to children whose teachers speak only English. The key finding of the study, by the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute at UNC Chapel Hill, tends of refute conventional wisdom that English-only pre-kindergarten programs help close achievement gaps among children from different racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups.

Title: Effortless English: Wiki Site for Articles and Mini-Stories
Body: From http://www.socialtext.net/effortlessenglish/index.cgi This is a place where English teachers can add articles and mini-stories to share with other teachers. Mini-stories are especially aimed at TPRS teachers. Typical format of lessons to be shared is as follows: * An Authentic Core Text: This can be an original article, a Wiki article, a fair-use article, a letter... The Text should be short (1-2 pages) and should be written at a normal adult native speaker level. Put difficult vocabulary (words or phrases) in BOLD. * A Mini-Story: This is a short and easy story that uses the target vocabulary from the Core Text. It should be quite short 1/2-3/4 page... and all the vocabulary and grammar should be simple (except the target vocab/grammar). Visit the site at http://www.socialtext.net/effortlessenglish/index.cgi .

Title: Activity Idea: Scavenger Hunt
Body: An AATG listserv user describes the following activity that she uses to practice giving directions: I write three sets of directions to a hidden spot (where I put a stuffed animal or sticker or post-it so they know they've found it.) I use three sets so that students can't just follow each other. Then I send them out in pairs at brief intervals (I watch as soon as the first group is out of sight). The ones waiting are decoding the directions. When they come back, I set them to writing their own directions. I use the regular 'rules' for writing for their classmates (no dictionaries, no unknown words) and the parameters to let them roam the school without causing problems. (they may enter no classroom, they may not go outside, they are allowed in the library, office, guidance, cafeteria...whatever works for your school.) The students bring me their directions, I number them, and they tell me where their 'secret spot' is (directing students back to my classroom is a favorite, as are the vending machines and one of the trophy cases). The same pairs then draw a set of numbered directions and off they go! They have a five minute time limit--if they can't find it they come back. Generally it's because someone doesn't know left from right! They can draw new directions and go again. I also mix up the directions from both sections of that level, so there's more variety. This takes two 46 minute classes. Day 1 is finding the stuffed bear and writing directions, Day 2 is finishing, finding the secret spot and begging to go again. I generally have a worksheet activity on giving/finding directions for them to complete when they return just in case. Holzer, J. Re: [AATG-L] Scavenger Hunt Anyone??????.
